Manchester United's Promising Defender Harry Amass to Embark on Loan Journey

Manchester United's young defender Harry Amass is set to go out on loan this season to gain valuable first-team experience and further his development. The 18-year-old, who joined the club in 2023 from Watford's academy, made seven first-team appearances last season, including four Premier League starts. His debut under Ruben Amorim in March marked the beginning of his journey with the Red Devils.

Impressive Pre-Season Performances

Amass caught the eye of many observers during last summer's pre-season, particularly with an encouraging display against Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in South Carolina. Despite his promising performances, he was surprisingly overlooked by then-manager Erik ten Hag, who felt the youngster lacked the strength to make an immediate impact in the Premier League.

Increased Competition and Strategic Decision

The arrival of Paraguay Under-20 international Diego Leon earlier this month has increased competition for the role of back-up left-sided defender. Internally, Manchester United has decided that Amass would benefit more from a loan move, where he can push for regular first-team football, rather than remaining at Old Trafford.

Future Prospects and Club's Perspective

While Leon will be involved in the upcoming US tour, United do not view Amass's loan situation negatively. The club continues to hold him in high regard, and it is understood that there has been significant interest in the England youth international. However, no deal is imminent at this stage.
